Since when is Dennis Miller a right winger? Bill Maher has always been a vocal member of the Democratic party.

Both seemed to have turned recently. Both of them in recent stand up specials they’ve released since 2019 have said, on stage, they are Republicans and expressed views consistent with that in their routines. It was a shock to me, considering I remember them being very anti-conservative back in the 90’s.

Seems like people just age into being conservative.

They said they’re Republicans, or they expressed viewpoints that people considered to be aligned with Republicans?

Dennis Miller has been part of the Fox News hosting and commentary family for a long time now.

I seem to remember Maher seeming more leftist at some point, but that might be because of his unabashed atheism. He’s always been insufferably arrogant though.

He’s a leftist that doesn’t like PC culture or identity politics. He does believe in equality, inclusion, and those sorts of principles, but he doesn’t agree with the way we’re going about seeking those things.

Economic reductionist would be the term, right? The “we fix the economy and regulate corporations and racism will fix itself” viewpoint?
